MapmyIndia releases its navigation app for iOS

NEW DELHI, INDIA: MapmyIndia has released the advanced navigation app - NaviMaps for the iOS platform. The Android version was launched two months earlier.

Apple users in India can now enjoy this best-in-class app which features, for the first time in India, house-level navigation, regional language voice guidance (in 10 languages) and international navigation (Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal).

The app offers automatic traffic based re-routing and real-time journey updates on Facebook (does not spam the timeline, updates a single post at regular intervals) along with a superfast and responsive experience. Another distinguishing feature of are 3D & 2D landmarks bundled with panoramic view.

MapmyIndia NaviMaps is a ‘Freemium' app where the user has to pay a small fee to enjoy full Pro-guidance features; this is more than compensated by the significant savings made by not having to pay any data charges, as the app is offline. This however is not the case with many other free navigation apps on offer where the user ends up paying heavy internet charges. In case the user does not activate the Pro-guidance features after the 3 day free trial, he can do so at any time in the future through in-app purchase.

"We launched NaviMaps about two months back on the Google Play store. The response has been overwhelming. The reviews and emails received are a testimony to the great user experience NaviMaps provide. We now extend this offering to all Apple users in India who can now enjoy India's best maps loaded with advanced features and offline functionality on NaviMaps," says Rakesh Verma, MD, MapmyIndia.
